Introduction[edit]

Approach[edit]

Descent[edit]

Trip report shows many rappels and drops in this canyon. We documented all of them and stayed in the watercourse for beta. Some of these drops can be down-climbed or bypassed on the hillside by skirting around them. So the number of rappels can be reduced for parties wanting to do the canyon that way.

Background[edit]

First descent by Michelle Nilles, 24 Dec 2016, solo. Rode Honda CT110 motorbike up South Park road, and came down from the top. Only did 3 rappels. Got out after dark. Hiked back up next day to recover the motorbike.

earlier trips in 2008 by Rick Kent & teams, and evidence of even earlier parties going there
